I had exactly the same trouble with my FT-1000D, when I moved to
my current QTH.  Approximately 1 mile away (or less) are a number
of FM and TB broadcast transmitters ... but worst of all ... is
an AM broadcast station on 970 KHz.  My radio was "useless"
UNTIL I purchased a high pass filter from I.C.E. which substantially
attenuates all signals below 1.8MHz.  The S9+40db trash dropped to
almost nothing.  I'll have to check the model number ... but I think
it is a 401X or 402X .... cost abaout $40, but a true God-send.
If you need the exact model number, send me an email and I'll get the 
info for you.


My only problem now remains on the low end of 80m
where I am using a vertically polarized antenna.  A tuned stub
may be used in the future to eliminate that problem.
